Manchester United playmaker Jesse Lingard has revealed how Jose Mourinho did not like him being injured.

Lingard won the the League Cup and Europa League in 2017 under the Portuguese manager, who is now charge of Roma.

But the 28-year-old has admitted Mourinho "didn't want to know" when he had injury complaints.

"Mourinho was the Manchester United manager back then and.. well, he didn't really like his players being injured," Lingard told the Players' Tribune. "He didn't want to know about it.

"And I'm like, 'It's not my fault, is it, Boss?

"Me and Jose had a good relationship generally, though.

"He was good to me. Before all the injury stuff, he trusted me, put me in for important games. We won trophies and he made me a winner.

"But in terms of injuries, yeah, it was tough because he didn't want to hear it."
